Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
This is firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 in Ubuntu 8.04.2.
I had my browser open with many tabs. It was still firefox 3.0.7
The update to 3.0.8 was published and I agreed to download and istall it (while
I was doing my business with the 3.0.7)
The "browser restart required message" appeared, thus I closed the browser
(there were still many open tabs). The message "Do you want Firefox to save
your tabs for the next time it starts?" didn't appear, and after the restart
the tabs were gone.
Note that:
a) if I close the browser now that the update process is complete, the
message appear and if I answer yes, the tabs are correctly saved for the
next session, thus is sort of "one time bug"
b) it is not exactly "one time" because it has occurred ALWAYS when
updating firefox (I have always firefox open with many tabs and I always
want them to be saved, so I encountered it already)
It might not seem a big deal, but sometimes it is, thus I recommend to
fix it. If you cannot fix it, you should at least add a dialog in the
update windows, stating that the current tabs will be gone, and warning
the user to save URLs and "back button status" if needed.
Thanks
